// Promote arguments functions to allow math functions to have arguments
// provided as integer OR real (floating-point, built-in or UDT)
// (called ArithmeticType in functions that use promotion)
// that help to reduce the risk of creating multiple instantiations.
// Allows creation of an inline wrapper that forwards to a foo(RT, RT) function,
// so you never get to instantiate any mixed foo(RT, IT) functions.

      // Then pick the wider of the two floating-point types
      // as the actual signature to forward to.
      // For example:
      // foo(int, short) -> double foo(double, double);
      // foo(int, float) -> double foo(double, double);
      // Note: NOT float foo(float, float)
      // foo(int, double) -> foo(double, double);

      // but ONLY float foo(float, float) is unchanged.
      // So the only way to get an entirely float version is to call foo(1.F, 2.F),
      // But since most (all?) the math functions convert to double internally,
      // probably there would not be the hoped-for gain by using float here.

      // This follows the C-compatible conversion rules of pow, etc
      // where pow(int, float) is converted to pow(double, double).
